Classroom Store Kit
Turn your classroom into a working store. Students practice pricing, counting money, making change, and real customer-and-worker jobs — while you run it with almost no prep. This printable kit has the signs, price tags, coupons, receipts, worker badges, tracking sheets, and an auction kit to make a classroom economy feel complete and real. Grades 2–6.
How It Works
Run a classroom store in three steps
Set it up once and reuse it all year. Students earn classroom money, then shop and work the store on store days.
Stock & price the store
Pick small items or privileges to sell and price each one with the printable price tags. Hang the store signs.
Assign the jobs
Hand out the six worker badges and duty cards — cashier, manager, stocker, banker, advertiser, and greeter.
Open, shop & reconcile
Students shop with classroom money; cashiers total sales on receipts; then the class fills in the inventory and sales summary.
